1.0 OVERVIEWWelcome to Freedom™ ReAct™ — MTI’s next-generation interactive media player. This small, solid-state player provides customers with a powerful shopping experience by displaying rich media content (e.g., video or computer animation) on a TV or video monitor.

This player operates by using a removable, flash memory card (SDHC) that holds media content (individual media files). The card also contains a configuration file that controls the playback behavior. This configuration file can be easily edited to develop a variety of custom applications.

The ReAct player is extremely versatile. It can be used as a stand-alone player to simply play media content on a monitor, or it can be used with triggers to create an interactive shopping experience. These triggers might be touch points created for a touch-screen monitor, push-buttons mounted next to the store merchandise, display posts that are part of an MTI Freedom™ display, or a combination of these.

When used as part of an interactive display, the system is typically configured to play a video ‘attract loop’ that catches the shopper’s attention when the display is not in use. When a shopper decides to demo a product (by pressing a button or lifting a Freedom post), this action triggers the player to switch and play the specific media content assigned to that product.

1.3 About the Memory CardThe player uses a Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) memory card to hold the media files and playlist information. This card has two folders: mti_data and mti_log. The mti_data folder holds all the individual media files and an mti_config.xml file. This configuration file controls the attract loop, playlists, and all the trigger behaviors (see Appendix A for example file).

Note: To support bit rates required for high definition files, Class 6 or higher SDHC cards should be used with the ReAct player. Class 6 cards support read/write speeds up to 48 Mbits/sec.

2.0 INSTALLATION & CONNECTIONS2.1 General Guidelines

� Place media player in a secure location to avoid tampering. � Do not place player in a tightly enclosed space to prevent excessive temperatures inside player. � Do not mount player upside down. It is designed to dissipate heat through the top metal cover. � Do not mount other heat-generating devices near player. � Do not remove player housing as it could result in electric shock and/or damage to player. In addition, inadvertent static dis-

charges to certain components may corrupt the player firmware leaving it in an inoperable state. � If installing push-buttons as the trigger device, mount buttons in pre-drilled cabinet holes before connecting components.

2 Turn on the monitor and use the monitor’s controls to select the correct video input (e.g., HDMI).

3 Optional Internet connection - Use one of the options below if you want to connect the player to the Internet.

� LAN Connection - Plug an Ethernet cable from your network into the player’s LAN port.

� Wireless Connection - Plug a wireless network adapter into one of the player’s USB ports (see page 23 for compatible adapters).

4 To connect push-button triggers (or similar devices), connect trigger wires to a 5-position screw terminal connector (common wire to GND). Plug connector into the player’s GPIO port.

5 To interface with a Freedom U2 or LP3 system, connect a serial cable to the RS-232 port on the UIM. Connect the other end of this cable to the RS-232 port on the player (see connection diagram on next page).

6 Plug provided 12VDC power adapter into the player; then connect the adapter to a suitable AC power source.

7 If you connected the player to a network, you must configure the player’s network settings using the player’s Setup mode (see pages 12-13). The default factory setting is DHCP.

8 If you are using a touch-screen, you must calibrate the monitor using the player’s Setup Menu (see page 14).

2.4 Power-up SequenceThe player does not have a dedicated on/off power button. The player automatically turns on and boots when power is supplied. The boot sequence includes the following elements:

� Approximately 10 seconds after power is applied, the MTI logo appears on the monitor. � Approximately 30 seconds after power is applied, an“MTI” label appears on the front panel of the player. � Approximately 45 seconds after power is applied, the video output from the player turns off briefly. This is normal. � Approximately 60 seconds after power is applied, the attract loop begins to play.

Note: This firmware version boots the system in 1280x720p/ 60Hz mode. If using a monitor that does not support this resolution or frame rate, the MTI logo may not be displayed. After the boot sequence, the player reverts to the current video output setting. When shipped from the factory, the video output is set to Auto (see page 12 for details). If valid content does not exist on the memory card, the player automatically displays the Setup Menu (see page 9 for details). If no image is displayed on the monitor, the player may be set for a video output format that the monitor cannot display. The player’s video output setting may be changed using the front panel display as follows:

1 Enter 68473887 on the optional remote or attached USB keyboard to access the Setup Menu. The front panel on the player displays “Setup Mode.”

2 If the down-arrow key, then the OK or Enter keys are the first keys pressed after entering setup, the front panel indicates the current output format (e.g., “Auto” or “1080p”, etc.).

3 Use the up or down buttons to select a resolution the monitor can display. If you are unsure what the monitor is capable of, select Auto. If connected via HDMI or DVI, ReAct will automatically set its output to match the native resolution of the monitor. If connected via YPbPr, ReAct will set its output to 480/576 which should display on the monitor.

4 Press OK or Enter to change the output resolution. The Setup Menu should now appear on the monitor along with a Confirmation message. Press the left-arrow key to highlight “Save,” then press OK or Enter. If the monitor is not capable of displaying the new resolution, the player will automatically revert back to the previous output setting. When this happens, the front panel will once again display “Setup Mode.” Simply pressing OK or Enter (do not press the down-arrow from this state) will once again display the current output setting on the front panel.

Triggers can be wired as normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC). Switching behavior is controlled by the mti_config.xml file on the memory card.

3.0 OPERATION & SETUP3.1 Playing Media ContentThe player does not have a dedicated on/off power button. Once power is supplied, the player performs the system boot process (approximately 60 seconds) and then plays the first media file in the attract loop playlist. The player continues to play the attract loop content until a trigger event occurs (e.g., customer pushes a button or lifts a Freedom post). When a trigger event occurs, the player switches and plays the media files in the playlist assigned to that trigger. These files play only once; the system then returns to playing files in the attract loop.

3.2 Error MessagesIf the player encounters problems with the playlist or media content during bootup, it will begin searching for a connected USB device with updated content. During this process, a blue window with the word ‘Preparing’ is displayed on screen, along with an error message that helps pinpoint the problem (see examples below). Problems are typically caused by one of the following conditions usually after writing to the SD Card directly from a PC:

� Memory card is missing or not properly seated. � Memory card does not contain the mti_data folder with content and the mti_config.xml file. � Media files specified in the mti_config.xml file are missing. � There are syntax errors in the mti_config.xml file.

Note: The error message only appears briefly on the screen. If you want to view the error message again, simply press the Setup button on the optional remote, or the Home key if you have an attached USB keyboard.

Example Error Message Probable Cause

Cannot open /tmp/media/sd/mmcblk0p1/mti_data/mti_config.xml

Memory card is not installed or not properly seated

mti_data folder is missing on the SD card

mti_config.xml file is missing on the SD card

Missing filename.mov, Invalid content in attract loop

A file listed in the mti_config.xml file is missing. In this case it is a file listed in the Attract Loop section.

Cannot parse xml: tag mismatch ln4 col72 A syntax error has been detected in the mti_config.xml file. In this case it is a tag mismatch. The line and column number indicates where the xml parser failed. The actual error could be earlier in the file.

Attract Loop missingCheck for proper spelling of the tags and attributes in the mti_config.xml file. In this case, the “AttractLoop” tag may be mis-spelled. Also check the beginning and end tags.

For all of these errors, check the SD card contents on a PC and correct the error. Or, reload the player content from a knowngood USB Flash drive. See pages 16-19 for details.

3.3 Using the Remote Control or USB KeyboardA remote control is not required for normal operation of the player. It is an optional accessory that can control several basic player functions (e.g., mute and volume) and can also be used to configure the player and monitor. If you do not have a remote, you can also configure the player by plugging a USB keyboard into one of the USB slots or by using touch points if connected to a compatible touch screen. Basic remote control and keyboard functions are detailed below.

Setup buttonExits Setup mode. Use Home key if using USB keyboard.

VolumeTemporarily controls playback volume of current media playing. Volume can also be controlled via GPI0 push buttons.

Text button Use in Setup mode to close

the on-screen keyboard

Number/letter buttons

Example only - actual remote may vary in color and layout. Remote buttons not called

out have no function on the ReAct player.

Navigation buttonsUse in Setup mode. Use arrow keys and Enter key if using a USB keyboard.

3.4 Configuring the Player Using the Setup MenuOverviewIn most cases, the factory default settings are sufficient for basic operation and there is no need to configure the player. You may, however, need to configure the player using the Setup Menu under the following conditions:

� Player is connected to the monitor using the AV port. This is an analog interface that does not exchange resolution informa-tion between the player and monitor. The player’s video output must be set to a specific resolution.

� You want to use a different audio output format (e.g., PCM 5.1).

� Player is connected to a wireless network. You must configure the player’s wireless settings.

� Player is connected to a touch screen.

Configuring Network SettingsSelect the Network tab to configure the settings as described below. This is only required if the player is connected to your network. Note: It may take a few minutes for an internet connection to establish once the player indicates it has received proper IP addresses.

LANIf you connected the player using an Ethernet cable, configure the network settings using the LAN Settings sub-menu.

Address Type: Choices are Dynamic (default) or Static. If Dynamic is selected, player obtains IP automatically if the network router is DHCP enabled. If Static is selected, you must set the following IP parameters manually using addresses provided by your IT administrator. The player must be rebooted after the static addresses are entered.

IP Address: (e.g., 192.168.000.002)

Net Mask: (e.g., 255.255.255.0)

DNS: Enter network DNS IP address.

Gateway: Enter IP of router or other directly connected device (e.g., 192.168.000.001).

Configuring Audio & Video SettingsSelect the AV tab on the Setup Menu to change the video and audio settings as described below:

Video Output: Choices are Auto, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i. These output choices are based on common TV resolutions, not typical PC resolutions. If you are using a PC monitor, or a TV with an HDMI or DVI cable connection, select Auto as your desired output. The player will automatically detect and display the correct resolution for your monitor.

Format: Choices are NTSC, PAL or 24p. NTSC selects the US composite video standard, and 60Hz frame rate for YPbPr and HDMI outputs. PAL selects the European composite video standard, and 50Hz frame rate for YPbPr and HDMI outputs. The 24p setting may be selected when playing 24Hz video content to avoid 3:2 pull-down artifacts. Note that not all TVs or monitors support 24Hz.

Aspect Ratio: Choices are 16:9 or 4:3.

AudioOutput: Choices are PCM 2.0 (for stereo-decoded output), PCM 5.1 (for 5.1 surround sound decoded output), or Pass-through (for non-decoded digital output). Only applies to output through HDMI and SPDIF connections. Select based on the type of speaker system that you are using (e.g., select 5.1 only if connected to home theater system via HDMI).

If the content file has a multi-channel (5.1) audio track:

• 2.0 decodes and down-mixes the audio to stereo L&R.

• 5.1 decodes the multi-channel audio. The full bandwidth 5.1 channels of audio is carried on the HDMI output. Only the front left and right audio channels are passed to the analog L&R outputs (no down-mixing).

• Pass-through does not decode the audio. The encoded audio is carried on the SPDIF and HDMI outputs for the connected audio device to decode.

Settings/Output SPDIF HDMI DIN9 red,white

PCM 2.0 (see note below) 2.0 2.0 2.0

PCM 5.1 N/A 5.1 Front left & right only

Pass-through Pass-through Pass-through N/A

Note: When connecting the player to a non-5.1 channel device, such as a TV, select PCM 2.0 in order to hear audio on the device. The player will downmix 5.1 content to 2.0 (stereo L&R). Only use Pass-through mode when the connected audio device, such as a Home Theater receiver, can properly decode the audio format of the content files.

* If the video file has AAC encoded audio, the audio is decoded and downmixed to 2.0 (stereo L&R). Other audio encodings such as AC-3, DTS, or WMA are not decoded and no audio appears on this port.

3.5 Updating the FirmwareWarning! Do not remove power while the firmware is updating. Doing so can leave the player in an unusable state, requiring it be returned to MTI for repair.

If you have a player with older firmware, you can update the player’s firmware using a USB flash drive. Please contact MTI for the latest firmware file and then update the player using the steps below:

1 Using a PC, make a copy of the new firmware and name it fw.bin. Copy this file to the root directory of the USB flash drive.

2 Plug the USB flash drive into the player.

3 Access the Setup Menu (see page 11) and select the Action tab.

4 Select Firmware Upgrade. Note: If the dialog box says ‘Firmware Not Found’ select ‘Close’, wait a few seconds, then select Firmware Upgrade again. It takes a few seconds for the player to confirm a valid fw.bin file.

5 When the ‘Firmware Found’ dialog box appears, it displays the version currently loaded in the player as well as the version on the USB drive. Make sure you are upgrading to the desired version, then select Flash.

6 The player automatically updates the firmware.

7 The player automatically reboots when done.

8 Remove USB flash drive when finished.

4.0 CONTENT MANAGEMENT4.1 Configuring Media Content & TriggersConfiguration OverviewThe player’s behavior is controlled by the mti_config.xml file on the memory card. This file contains sets of elements and attributes that specifies the attract loop, playlists, and trigger behaviors. An example config.xml file is included in Appendix A. This appendix also details the specific elements and attributes that are used to create the configuration file. A small excerpt from this configuration file is shown below:

Notes:

� A useful freeware program called ConTEXT (www.contexteditor.org) supports syntax color coding of xml files.

� Media content can include media files (e.g., image or video files) or web page content (html files stored on the memory card or on a web server if player is connected to the Internet).

� All media content must specify the content type and name.

� Media files identified in this configuration file must be in the mti_data folder. If a file is missing, the system displays an error message and enters Setup Mode.

� System requires the <M504> tag at the beginning, a DefaultVolume value, and the </M504> tag at the end.

� Volume for individual media files is optional; the system will simply use the default value instead.

� You must specify mode3d=”1” for 3D media files; otherwise the system will play the file in the default 2D mode.

Trigger OverviewReAct currently supports three types of trigger inputs:

� GPIO - momentary contact closure connections (e.g., push buttons or motion-detection sensors). You can attach up to four GPIO devices to the player’s GPIO port and each device can trigger a specific playlist. Attributes in the config.xml file deter-mine whether a position is normally open or normally closed, and whether another GPIO trigger may interrupt the current playback.

� Display posts or buttons that are part of a Freedom U2 or LP3 merchandising system. Up to 68 Freedom positions are sup-ported. Positions 65-68 are special positions that connect to the positions A through D jacks on the UIM. These four special positions can be used to control illuminating buttons (illumination is controlled through the rs232Out attribute in the config.xml file).

� Touch points on a compatible touch screen. You can create as many touch points as you want over any media content displayed on the screen. Each content file has its own unique set of touch point triggers and you can create as many triggers as you like for each file.

Creating Touch PointsYou can add touch points over any media file by adding touch point elements (<TP>) to the config.xml file. Each touch point is defined by a set of four values (w,h,x,y) indicating its size and position on the screen as measured in pixels. The position is measured from the top left corner of the screen and is always defined relative to a 1280x720 canvas.

For example, on a 26” 1280x720 monitor, a touch point 2” wide by 1” high in the center of the screen would be defined as follows:

w=”113” h=”56” x=”584” y=”332”

Once you have defined the size and location of the touch point in the config file, there are other at-tributes that you can add to give the touch point the look that you want. For example, you can specify the color (r,g,b values) and the transparency level to create basic colored buttons.

You can also assign an image file to your touch point, which is useful for creating special on-screen buttons. If you assign an image file, the player places and scales the image inside your defined rectangle. You can then also set the transparency of the image file using the transparency attribute (transparent_level=) and set the transparency of the image background using the alpha attribute (a=). Refer to the Appendix for additional details regarding these attributes.

Using RS-232 Capabilities The player has the ability to output any character string that you specify out the RS-232 port when content is triggered. This is accomplished using the RS232 attribute (rs232Out=) in the config.xml file. This can be useful for triggering or controlling external devices.

For example, you can use this to control LEDs on buttons connected to positions A through D on the UIM. A typical installation would be to have the LED light when the button is pressed and the content plays, then turn off when the content finishes and player goes back to the attract loop.

Likewise, the rs232Out attribute is needed to control the light rings built into the Freedom U2 display posts. In this application, when a U2 position becomes active, the config.xml file directs the player to send the appropriate code to the UIM, instructing the light ring on that position to change to its active color.

Examples:

� Freedom U2 positions are represented by single letters. Upper case A thru Z represent positions 1 thru 26, and lower case a thru z repre-sent positions 27 thru 52.

� To change U2 position 1 light ring to the active state, enter rs232Out=”#A” in the <content> element.

� To activate multiple U2 light rings, enter rs232Out=”@ABCD”. Enter multiple letters after the @ corresponding to the positions to activate.

� Buttons attached to the UIM are represented by the numbers 1 thru 4.

� To light the first button, enter rs232Out=”#1”. To light multiple buttons, enter rs232Out=”@1234”.

� To reset all U2 light rings to their idle state and turn all button lights off, enter rs232Out=”#0”. This is usually entered into the first <con-tent> element of the attract loop to reset all U2 lights.

4.2 Updating Media Content & PlaylistsThere are two methods you can use to update the player’s media content and configuration file. You can do it remotely through an Internet connection (i.e., remote content management) or locally using a USB flash drive.

Updating via USB Flash Drive You can update a single player or multiple players using a single USB flash drive. If you are updating multiple players, one or more ‘target’ folders may be created on the USB flash drive to help simplify the process (see next page for example folder structure):

� MAC Folders: Create an individual folder for each player using the last six digits of the player’s MAC address as the folder name. Place the updated content and the config_xml file specific to each player in its MAC/mti_data folder.

� Terminal ID (TID) Folders: If all players are assigned a Terminal ID using the same format (see page 13), you can create fold-ers named with full or partial TIDs to direct the content to specific players or groups of players. For example, if players are all named with a unique number (e.g., mti01, mti02, etc.), you can create a single folder path named mti#/mti_data to direct content in that folder to all players (the ‘#’ at the end of a folder name is wildcard for any character). If you create a folder mti$1, then it directs content only to players mti01, mti11, mti21, etc. In this case, the ‘$’ is used as a wildcard for any single character in the TID.

� Default Folder: If the player’s MAC address or Terminal ID does not match any of the above folders, the player will look for a mti_data folder in the root of the USB flash drive as a default.

� Common Content Folder: This is an optional folder, containing content that is common to the playlists in multiple MAC, TID, or default folders. Common content is placed in the common/mti_data folder. This avoids needing to duplicate media files in multiple folders on the USB flash drive.

Once you have created your desired folders and copied the new content into these folders, use the following steps to update the player(s):

1 Create and name a sync.xml file with the following attributes:

<M504Sync>

<SYNCData Incremental=”true” FollowConfigXml=”true” />

</M504Sync>

2 Copy this sync file into each of the mti_data folders. Note that each mti_data folder may contain a different sync.xml file.

Important! It is best to use a dedicated USB flash drive for the updating media content, not the same flash drive used to download log files.

If you set to true, it copies all the new media content and does not delete any existing (old) files.

If you set to false, it copies all the new media content and any old media files not listed in the mti_config.xml file are deleted.

If you set to true, only media files specified in the new mti_config.xml file are copied from the flash drive to the memory card.

If you set to false, all media files in both the target/mti_data folder and the common/mti_data folder are copied to the player, even if they are not specified in the mti_config.xml file.

3 Plug the flash drive into one of the player’s USB slots.

4 When the ‘Ready’ dialog box appears on the monitor, the USB -> SD button is highlighted. Select to start the update.

5 The player automatically copies the files to the memory card.

Note: Before transferring the new content, make sure that all content files called out in the mti_config.xml file are present on the USB flash drive. If any content files are missing it will leave the player with an unusable playlist. When the update is complete, the Close button on the bottom of the screen should be highlighted. Select (or press Enter) to close the window.

6 Remove the flash drive when finished.

Note: If the new mti_config.xml file has the same or older date as the existing file on the player, a red warning window appears asking to confirm the content transfer.

Example USB Flash drive folder structure

Player with MAC address 070b50 will only look for content in the 070b50/mti_data and common/mti_data folders as directed by the mti_config.xml and sync.xml files in the 070b50/mti_data folder.

Player with MAC address 070c63 will only look for content in the 070c63/mti_data and common/mti_data folders as directed by the mti_config.xml and sync.xml files in the 070c63/mti_data folder.

Players with Terminals IDs that match the mti$1 string will only look for content in the mti$1/mti_data and common/mti_data folders as directed by the mti_config.xml and sync.xml files in the mti$1/mti_data folder.

All other players will only look for content in the mti_data and common/mti_data folders as directed by the mti_config.xml and sync.xml files in the mti_data folder.

4.3 Downloading Log FilesThe player maintains log files of all activity. You can download these log files using a USB flash drive.

1 Create a folder named mti_log.

2 Create and name a sync.xml file with the following attributes:

<M504Sync>

<SYNCLog CleanUp”true” />

</M504Sync>

3 Copy the sync.xml file into the mti_log folder; then copy this folder to a USB flash drive.

Important! It is best to use a dedicated USB flash drive for the log files, not the same flash drive used to update the media content.

4 Plug the flash drive into one of the player’s USB slots.

5 When the ‘Ready’ dialog box appears on the monitor, verify that the SD -> USB button is highlighted. Select to copy the files.

6 The player automatically copies the log files to the flash drive.

7 When copying is complete, the Close button will be highlighted. Select to close the window.

8 Remove the flash drive when finished.

Notes: The log files are created as plain text files. with one file containing all user activity for each day. The file names contain both the player serial number and the date:

m504_001BF007011B_20101008.log

When copying log files from the SDHC card to the USB flash drive, be aware that the current day’s file is not copied. This file may change later if additional user activity occurs. The player does not copy this file in order to avoid duplication of data during future copy operations.

If you set to true, it copies the files to the flash drive and then deletes the files from the SD card.

If you set to false, it does not delete the files from the SD card after copying them to the flash drive.

Note: If this flash drive also contains the mti_data folder, then the USB -> SD button will be highlighted by default. You must use a remote, keyboard or touch screen to select the SD -> USB button before proceeding.
